CookingLEARN TO COOK and be healthy, wealthy, and happy!
As with my "Savings" page, I've listed my weekly savings behind each article/recipe. If it is seasonal, the savings are divided up between 52 weeks. This makes it easy to compare the monetary value of each skill/activity. Be resourceful by shopping in your backyard, barnyard or garden. I've included here a list of foods you can get for free (with a little bit of work). Food Preservation: Reusable Freezer Boxes ($0.19) Canning: Frugal or Not? |
